Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 hey everyone, i am new to this group, i am 19 and am having upper, lower, and genio in 4-9 months. everything has been submitted to my insurance company and is covered except for the genioplasty, but i am starting to have second thoughts about my surgeon.his name is dr. peter protzel, in bethpage, ny. he seems like he is very nice, but he says i will be wired shut for 6-8 weeks and this makes me really nervous! i dont really know how many of these cases he does a year, but he is the one who recomended me to my ortho, dr. richard faber, who i think is awesome. i dont know if i should check out other doctors elsewhere, or bring my questions up to my ortho... see what he thinks. i have heard of other doctors that are highly recomended, and are all over the internet. i cant really find anything on my surgeon, is it better to go with a surgeon that is more well known??? if i decided to find a new surgeon is this going to royally screw with my insurance???? any advice is appreciated...... katelyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
